we machine barrels now, instead of forging them to shape

ease of manufacturing would be my wild guess

Easier to make flat surfaces with hammers and files than round surfaces?

9mm for a handgun
5.56 for a rifle
12 gauge for a shotgun

>>32802463
I have two weapons,
first one is Tikka T3 bolt action, chambered in .223 rem (5.56 basically)
>Big initial costs, but cheap shooting for ~300m

Second is CZ75B New edition, 9mm
Cheap to buy, but you go through ammo a lot faster

What about .22LR
that shit looks like it's plenty

Steel panthers main battle tank is /k/ as fuck

I love how JA2 uses the Fallout 1/2 engine.

They're my 3 favorite games too.

>>32802427

the simulation markets obsessive focus with tanks and aviation is kind of a bugbear of mine, even in combined arms simulators the infantry aspect is treated as an afterthought and is seriously shallow, with the exception of maybe the latest versions of the combat mission series.

This is sad because I believe infantry simulation could be every bit as as interesting and perhaps even more dynamic than what is currently available with tank combat and air combat simulators.

The closest we've got in that regard is ArmA which is certainly good but kind of ruined by the prevalence of 3rd person shenanigans and garbage dayz and battlefield rip off missions in the public space.

I'd love to have a blackpowder/smoothbore gun one day. Anything, really.

Canadian laws about them are both lean and weird. If I had the time and space I'd look into it more seriously.

Has anyone ever fired one of these large, high draw-weight crossbows?

Is there much in the way of recoil?

>>32802423
Lots of energy but they're also big and heavy.
The hardest is to train it on target without swaying.

Either they don't export firearms to Europe for commercial sales or it's Colt being retards like usual and only did a limited run

>>32802237
Sometime ago on the web i've seen something called XT-3 with colt logo stamped on it, but couldn't find any information about it.

That made me wonder

>>32802224
I think it was one of the Austrians in /arg/ saying it, but the duties were so high to bring US manufactered guns in, the importers only bothered with the more boutique brands that were expensive to start.

Second this, it's a great book.

THE SIEGE OF MECCA.

A true story of how a mad man managed to fucked up the modern Saudi Arabia, Islam and world.

Highly recommend to understanding how modern terrorism was born.

Well, to be fair, air power is the last thing Croatia needs to think about when it's a NATO member, just use the forces the US has in theater. IIRC though, they're also modernizing their ground troops with newer stuff, including the Javelin and Kiowas.

Which model of the MiG-29?
Also if Croatia goes through with their fighter deal, the MiG-29s will be painfully obsolete no matter what they end up with, especially since all Euro canards will have access to Meteors.

Cheapest like lowest cost manufacturing...no there is worse

>>32801562
I would call them mid range, considering the exponential price scale

but the cost of manufacture (though necessarily quality) is remarkably low

This, OP. They just mark up the price (like all gun companies) like Jewelers do.

>nervously enter the cockpit
Pilots are the most cocky bastards you'll ever meet in your entire life. No US Military pilot has ever nervously entered a cockpit.

It's not a Comet

Its not the NA with the 50mm. I fucking love this tank though.

Czechia can do no wrong

>and try to leave the country.
Assuming this bit is imperative to the success of the mission, I just hitchhike to Mexico. There's no fun heists that I could realistically commit in 2 days; At least none I'd get away with. It's just not how the world works.

Assuming that this is just general heistery talk instead of heisting then running talk, I would burglarize houses in a upper middle class neighbourhood and I'd look for cash/drugs.
PS: Is this just a prompt for Payday fanfiction?

Why would you need weapons and equipment for white collar crime?

>>32801485
>You may only use weapons and equipment currently at your disposal, and may enlist the help of up to 3 other /k/ommandos.
Just knives and nerf guns desu, not enough to work with. Hopefully the 3 /k/ommandos have guns I could burrow. I'll buy a shitload of gun powder, then I'll make IED's out of them. Preferably with a timed trigger.
>Which of your weapons do you bring for the job?
Anything the other /k/ommandos with me can loan me.
>What's your target?
A police station a county or two away from my home.
>Do you have a mask? Do you try to make one?
I'll use a baseball cap
>What's your escape vehicle?
Anything that runs, probably a police vehicle/ambulance.
>Do you have any specialist equipment to use?
Bombs, the stuff to make bombs, ext.
>>FBI pls no bully, just trying to get away from the usual hypotheticals
This desu

The plan is to have 2 /k/ommandos set 4-5 bombs to explode in different locations in the same 3 mile radius. The bombs are timed to detonates 5 minutes after the previous one. This causes all active duty cops/SWAT to leave and to stay gone. The /k/omandos will discharge their weapons into the air/ground many times, so it sounds like there's a gunfight. Then they leave through sewers/whatever

After one and a half minutes after the second bomb goes off, me and the other /k/ommando goes into the police station to steal the firearms contained within, along with any/all drugs/money locked up in evidence. We're quite-ish, ideally anyone in the station doesn't question us because they're busy trying to find out why bombs are going off. We get the stuff and then we leave. We hope there was no one who saw us, and we drive casually towards Mexico. (Or a private airfield at least 75 miles away, if we can get one)

They'd be hiding in mountains and caves. You can't bring HMGs everywhere with you. How would one handle this situation without being too edgy?
